OK,

I LOVE my canon gear. There shall be no question of that fact, it just fits my hands so well.

However, there is just something about the LOOK of the Carl Zeiss lenses that sony offers..

They just look incredible modern, nice, parallel surfaces. Their 135mm F1.8 to me just looks gorgeous!


and now they have a new toy out....

the alpha NEX... not surprisingly you can buy an A mount to E mount adapter...

I know the alpha NEX is very similar to the new PEN, and other seemingly smaller small DSL(no r) cameras. From what I understand, it features a crop factor 1.5 sensor...

What happens when/if Sigma starts making lenses for this mount? HSM focusing?


What do you all think?

Are you talking the case design or the image it produces?


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Case design. Im referring only to the design of the above mentioned products( sony lenses, and the new A-NEX cameras)


I cant describe it...I just...I dunno.

I don't know much about Sony, but from most reviews I've read, Canon beats them in low light performance. Also, I've read that Sony tends to saturate colors more.


Thank you. bw!
